The Flavor Of Love Star You Might Not Remember Shaq Dated

May 2024 · 2 minute read

Back in August 2012, the Boston Globe broke the news that Shaquille O'Neal and his fiancée Nicole Alexander had called it quits after nearly three years of dating, according to Daily Mail. After her stint on "Flavor of Love" Alexander got together with O'Neal and moved to Boston to be with him while he played for the Celtics. When his basketball career came to an end, the pair moved to Florida so that O'Neal could work as a commentator and actor.

So, why did things suddenly end? Well, according to sources, the pair got in a blowout fight in front of a group of children at a gymnastics center in Orlando, per Vibe. Alexander reportedly wanted to take classes at the gymnastics center but was told she was too old to sign up. Upon learning she couldn't participate, Alexander lost her temper and embarrassed O'Neal, who in turn lost his temper and later decided to end the relationship.

However, Alexander remembers things a little differently. As far as she is concerned, the end of the relationship was a long time coming. In an interview with Black America Web, she claimed that O'Neal cheated on her and even brought the other women to public events, which she would later see on TV. Whatever the truth, she was just as ready for the relationship to end as him and didn't want to hold a grudge. "It is what it is. It's what he decided to do and he has to live with that," she said. "I'm still hopeful for love."
